I started taking photos this way when I was trying to ID all the shorebirds which I did NOT know at that time and I have kept doing it because I can look at details so much better.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-34557553261021115732009-05-08T08:37:00.000+10:002009-05-08T08:37:00.000+10:00Mick, that's an excellent tip to help ID, somethin...Mick, that's an excellent tip to help ID, something I must try in future. I must admit that I often keep a few pics on the camera when leading walks so that I can show visitors what a particular bird actually looks like rather than illustrations in a guide book.FABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185823702988992159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-33844148769627821322009-05-08T04:18:00.000+10:002009-05-08T04:18:00.000+10:00Thanks Denis.

None of my books showed relative size - which I really wanted. So I still look at my photos for this.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-58079978186250054622009-05-08T01:49:00.000+10:002009-05-08T01:49:00.000+10:00Nice photos, Mick.
